Evidence

=Giving Evidence to Explanations= In this session, our focus will be toward the NSES and Maine Science Standard's Unifying Theme of "Constancy and Change". Through exploration of authentic data presented as tables, time series, spatial images, correlations, and other formats, we will practice "telling a story" with the given evidence.
